On the basis of the gauge principle of field theory, a new variational formulation is presented for flows of an ideal fluid. The fluid is defined thermodynamically by mass density and entropy density, and its flow fields are characterized…

The energy of an $n^{th}-$gradient fluid depends on its Eulerian velocity gradients of order $n$. A variational principle is introduced for the dynamics of $n^{th}-$gradient fluids and their properties are reviewed in the context of…
Linear and angular momenta of a soliton in a ferromagnet are commonly derived through the application of Noether's theorem. We show that these quantities exhibit unphysical behavior: they depend on the choice of a gauge potential in the…
We consider Noether symmetries of the equations defined by the sections of characteristic line bundles of nondegenerate 1-forms and of the associated perturbed systems. It appears that this framework can be used for time-dependent systems…

The dynamics of a physical system is linked to its phase-space geometry by Noether's theorem, which holds under standard hypotheses including continuity. Does an analogous theorem hold for discrete systems? As a testbed, we take the Ising…
